desire to stand by a friend, the truth may
as well be told once, if only to see how ii
would sound. The backbone of the de-
tense of Mr.. Beard, which has been un-
dertaken by his over-zealous defenders,
is the claim that it is political fight
which is being made on him. 1t is moth
ing of the kind. To prove this PROPOSE
ton, it is only necessary to state that, in
the case of Mr.. Boards displacement
within the next eighteen months, all con-
cede that Democrat will be appointed
in his place. In addition to this, another
cogent fact is that Democrats in this
place, as far as they we're requested to do
SO, with an exception or two, signed the

remember that the shades OF decay are
lingering in the paths Of every one OF us,
and that this reunion business in the
earthly domain which we are thought by
some to have had hand in saving is not
going to last eternally. The railroad fare
for the round "trip from Wa-Keeney to
st. Louis on this occasion will be barely
more than twelve dollars.
Now, comrades, We would not for the
world give you any bad advice. We
want all of you to take this trip who can.
A company for the fourth regiment,
whose organization is mentioned else
where, should be organized at Wa-Kee-
ney. AS beginning for this
company, w. s. Tilton will
be glad to receive, as rapidly as possible,
the names of all the old soldiers in Trego
county who expect to attend the national
encampment. As soon as a few names
are received, company officers can be
elected, and the organization of the COM
pany completed. As far as we are con-
cerned, there will be no fred tape" in this
organization business. It it for conven-
fence and pleasure. Companionship is
the object of the encampment.
Fall in, boys!
